I want to write more later, but for now I’ll just say that I really enjoyed this story! It’s always fun to have a mermaid story, and I loved the inclusion of West African history and mythology, and Yoruba deities.

If you’re a fan of Beasts of Prey or Raybearer and are wanting more African fantasy, this is a must read. I also think fans of the Percy Jackson books will love Skin of the Sea.

And of course there are some great nods to the HCA version of the little mermaid.
